Adaptive and Inclusive Recreation

Inclusive Services

The Round Rock Parks and Recreation Department promotes the power of choice to enhance the quality of life for individuals of all abilities. We do this by providing diverse, accessible recreation in an environment that fosters dignity, success, and fun. Through inclusion services, the department may provide reasonable accommodations for those who prefer other Round Rock Parks and Recreation programs and/or activities. To request inclusion services, please call our administrative office at 512-218-5540 at least one month before the start of a program or class to discuss any accommodations that may be necessary.

The City of Round Rock Parks and Recreation Department does not provide Personal Care Services such as feeding, certain medications, or toileting: diapering, post-toilet wiping, transferring, or the changing of clothes. Team members may assist in verbal cues, reminders, and buttoning or zipping of clothing. However, upon request, we will allow accommodations for the person who requires such services to bring their own Personal Care Attendant to enable their participation.
